It is an interesting story though how a city that was rapidly declining as an old industrial port, has gone on to produce criminals that have dominated the drugs trade not only in Britain but across Europe. They have made contacts in Amsterdam, Colombia, Turkey and Mexico and have made hundreds of millions.

A lot of these men were just typical English criminals but have gone on to create massive empires and many of the original people involved started making contacts while following their football team to games in Europe. They have gone from robbing shops to multi-millionaires in the space of a few years. Curtis Warren was locked up in Switzerland for trying to rob a shop and a few years later was involved in 1000 kilo cocaine importations
